Can provide the amounts of barley & water that you use for your daily breakfast?
Thanks.

I just eyeball it and make sure the water is incorporated into a well mixed slurry, you have to watch it because it expands quite a bit while microwaving and can overflow a bowl if your bowl is too small.
If you have too little water before microwaving it, it won't expand but you'll need to mix in more hot water afterwards otherwise the texture will be subpar.
Barley is cheap, I'd just start with less than a quarter cup ground powder and go from there.

Morning breakfast is now hulled barley (ground to powder) porridge, the beta glucan (more than in oatmeal) in it makes my entire digestive situation better I prefer it over cream of wheat or oatmeal (which I find disgusting). Barley and humans just really have a thing going, I just add water from my hot water tank, throw in a little sweetener and microwave for 1 min. It's and amazing whole grain hot breakfast.
